FOCUS ON THE CREATIVE: TURBOCHARGED RUNNING ANIMAL

A COLLABORATIVE POST WITH INTRODUCTION BY

IAN HOWARD

Sound effects editor Brad Meyer is always designing amazing effects with unique builds and altering plugins. This week, well chat with him about a steady and pass by effect he created for a super fast running animal.

HEY BRAD! SO LETS HEAR THE FULL BUILD OF WHAT YOU CREATED.

Could you break down how you created that build?

I created layers of steady sounds which consisted of a jet turbine power up, a bagpipe, leg swishes and the sounds of pitter patter of feat which is different depending on the surface. The bagpipe I processed to add rising tension using the Waves Shifter plugin to make the pitch go up over time and the protools built in Mophodor plugin to add a SiFi sounding element to it.

Once I created my full build, I rendered that into one file and created multiple turning and pass by sounds using Wave Doppler on the U-turn setting. I then added some cartoony raceway zips and tire squeaks for stopping and starting the run to create the full build.

Have any cool sound effect builds you have created? Share with us in the comments below!
